Printing Tips

Here are some important tips for producing the best funeral program from your template. Dont forget to read this section to get a great looking funeral program template!
1. To get the best results, print your funeral program on at least 32 lb. weight white paper. You can print it on regular weight paper but the heavier paper gives it durability and an overall nicer presentation. 2. Set your color printer to border-less printing. This option will vary from printer to printer depending on your manufacturer. if you have this feature for your type of printer otherwise there will be a 1/4 white border around the edges. You can trim this off, if youd like to achieve the full bleed or border-less effect. 3. If your even shorter on time or dont have a color printer, consider taking your program to an express local printing service. You may need to create a PDF file of your PUBLISHER template prior to bringing it to the local express printer. 4. To ensure your program prints with even borders if you do not have a border-less printer, you need to make sure your print driver is setup correctly. 1. Open the template, FILE > PAGE SETUP 2. Select Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes > Enter 0 for top, right, bottom, and left margin settings. Click OK when done. 3. Check the PAGE PREVIEW before printing to ensure your program has even borders around the perimeter of the page.

Also make sure that your paper size is set up to letter border-less or legal border-less for tri fold brochures.
